Today is a special day for Vanguardians, as it is for many in America and across the globe. To honor women who paved the path before us, and those who continue to champion rights for all women and girls, Vanguardians (including “Manguardians!”) came together in solidarity, love and hope. Below are some clips from our awesome day, and a specially curated Spotify playlist featuring our favorite Goddesses of music. Enjoy!
